Avengers Assemble! Summer is officially here with the first blockbuster of the year and it’s a doozy, breaking records and amazing audiences and critics everywhere. We have four opinions about The Avengers here for you, with different things about the movie we liked and disliked. We also talk about Battleship‘s oversea success before its American release, our Dark Shadows hesitation,...
